Smart Video Camera Multi-Party Communication via Server Mediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart video cameras are limited in their communication functionality, allowing only two-way communication with the mobile terminal currently logged into the user account, restricting users to interact with smart video cameras bound to the same user account, and lacking multi-party communication capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a server establishes communication between smart video cameras based on their device identifications, enabling direct communication between multiple smart video cameras and mobile terminals, expanding the communication scenario beyond the limitations of user account-bound devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If smart video cameras are bound to user accounts for communication, then communication security and user authorization are improved, but communication flexibility and multi-party interaction capabilities deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments communication into different types: account-bound communication for security-critical operations and device-identification-based communication for flexible multi-party interactions. This allows the system to maintain security requirements while enabling broader communication scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that manages both account-based authorization and device-identification-based connection establishment. It mediates between the security requirements of user accounts and the flexibility needs of multi-party communication by coordinating authentication and connection setup.
2Device complexity
If smart video cameras communicate only through currently logged-in mobile terminals, then system complexity is reduced, but communication functionality and application scenarios deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The communication system is designed to support multiple communication modes: traditional account-bound communication and new device-identification-based direct communication. This multi-functionality allows the system to serve both simple two-party communication and complex multi-party scenarios without requiring separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a new dimension to communication by introducing device identification as an independent parameter alongside user account binding. This allows communication to occur not only through the traditional account-terminal-camera chain but also directly between devices using their unique identifiers, expanding the communication topology.
3Productivity
If direct communication between smart video cameras is enabled, then communication efficiency is improved, but system reliability and authorization control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authorization through account binding before enabling direct device-to-device communication. The account-bound relationship is established in advance as a trust foundation, allowing subsequent direct communications between associated devices to proceed efficiently without repeated authentication while maintaining security through the pre-established authorization relationship.

AI summary
A method, device for communication based on smart video cameras and computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving a communication request from a first smart video camera, wherein the communication request carries a device identification of the first smart video camera; determining a device identification of a second smart video camera bound with the first smart video camera, based on the device identification of the first smart video camera; establishing a communication between the first smart video camera and the second smart video camera based on the device identification of the second smart video camera. In the examples of the present disclosure, the server is able to realize the communication between the first smart video camera and the second smart video camera according to their device identifications.
